" Izo careful!"
Marco's expression changed drastically.
With a surge of azure flames, he appeared before Izo.
The moment the jet-black Armament Haki covered his legs.
It collided directly with Sanji, who was falling from the sky.
" Diable Jambe - Finishing Touch!"
" The Phoenix Immortal Seal!"
Boom!
Two massive air currents collided.
Sanji flipped and landed on the deck behind him.
The flames on his feet were still burning fiercely as he looked up at Marco, a cigarette dangling from his lips.
At the same time, Zoro, Nami, Smoker, and others also landed on either side.
A tense and chilling atmosphere filled the entire room.
Yamakaji and Gion's expressions were extremely stiff.
Zoro and the others watched as the entire crew attacked without warning.
They felt like the world was going crazy.
Is this a prelude to war?
"What a bunch of brats! How dare you ambush me! Die!"
Teach roared and charged out of the ruins.
However, as soon as he got close, the surging white smoke gathered in front of him and formed the shape of Smoker.
As the smoke in his right hand expanded to its maximum, Armament Haki quickly covered his fist, and he delivered a punch straight at the opponent.
Bang!
Teach was blasted away again.
Its speed was in no way inferior to Carina's sniping earlier.
Marco and the other captains' faces immediately turned extremely grim.
It's somewhat understandable that Atmos lost to Bai Yu.
But now, Teach, a veteran of the Whitebeard Pirates, is being knocked away one after another.
This is absolutely disgraceful!
Even the Whitebeard's face suddenly turned extremely gloomy.
Just as he was about to speak, an unexpected figure rushed out first.
"Big brother, why do you always cause such a ruckus every time you show up? You're not really planning to take on Pops with just your small group, are you?!"
The blazing flames between Whitebeard and Bai Yu formed the shape of Ace.
Everyone present was naturally surprised to see Ace suddenly step in to block them.
However, what's even more shocking is that one word. "Big Brother."
Is this Whitebeard's godson?
Yamakaji and Gion, subconsciously glancing at Whitebeard and the others.
However, the shock on their faces was completely genuine.
Faced with Ace's sudden address.
They were also caught off guard.
" Ace, what did you call him just now?"
The Whitebeard's face darkened, and he pressed for an answer.
Everyone immediately focused their attention on Ace.
Even Whitebeard asked this question.
This proves that Bai Yu is not his godson.
"Ahem, Pops, sorry, I didn't have time to explain earlier," Ace said with a dry cough.
"He's my older brother, my sworn brother with whom I've lived since childhood. Over the years, I've always been defeated by him. After we went to sea, he even beat me up twice."
"I just didn't expect him to come knocking on my door."
"Big brother, you're not worried that Pops will kill me, so you rushed here to save me, are you?"
"I remember you saying that you went to join the navy with the old man so that it would be easier to rescue us later!"
Looking at Ace, who was all serious but seemed to be talking nonsense, everyone felt like they were going crazy.
If everything Ace said is true.
The old man he was referring to, is he perhaps the Marine Garp the Hero?
As for the last sentence, it relates to Bai Yu's purpose in joining the navy, which is relevant to Yamakaji, Gion, and others.
That's utter nonsense.
The so-called mission to carry out the Five Elders ' tasks is utter nonsense, isn't it?
"Haha, Ace, you're still the same."
Bai Yu smiled bloodthirstyly, then pulled out a bottle of strong liquor, took a swig, and said...
"I came here to try my luck and see if there are any targets worth cutting down."
"It's a pity you had to show up at this crucial moment of all times, preventing me from having a proper fight with Whitebeard!"
The rolling words echoed like thunder on the deck.
Looking at Bai Yu, who immediately admitted it as soon as he opened his mouth.
Their last remaining speculation was completely extinguished.
One is a Navy Supernovas, the other is a Pirate Supernovas.
I thought there would definitely be a battle between good and evil.
I never expected Ace to suddenly call me "Big Brother".
Given this level of relationship, what's the point of even fighting?
" Ace, you just said that this is why this guy was able to beat Atmos?"
Whitebeard, his face grim, Murakumogiri.
Ace was the son he had painstakingly recruited and valued most.
Bai Yu and he also have a sworn brother relationship.
Based on this alone, Whitebeard can no longer act rashly.
Moreover, Ace just mentioned that the invitation was just a pretext; their real purpose was to rescue people.
This brotherly bond of mutual rescue from afar undoubtedly struck at Whitebeard's weak spot.
" Pops, my elder brother has always seemed unfathomable. Even all of us sworn brothers combined couldn't defeat him. I thought that after we went to sea and obtained the Flame-Flame Fruit, I could challenge him to a duel, but who knew we'd lose again."
Ace explained with a wry smile.
"However, I suffered from not understanding Haki last time, but in the past six months, I have mastered Three Types of Haki. If we were to fight now, I might not be his match."
The scene fell into a deathly silence.
Even Teach, who had crawled out of the ruins intending to launch another sneak attack, was completely dumbfounded.
Originally, he planned to use the Marine Supernovas to sneak up and deliver a fatal blow while they were locked in a life-or-death battle with the Pirate Supernovas.
But now he's called "Big Brother".
What kind of conspiracy is this?
This was completely pointless.
Seeing Whitebeard's expression gradually calm down, Teach knew that this attempt to use someone else to do his dirty work had backfired spectacularly.
"Are you really Ace's older brother?"
Whitebeard rubbed his throbbing temples.
Bai Yu smiled bloodthirstily.
"Actually, Whitebeard, I'd rather you didn't believe me, so we could continue fighting. Just thinking about fighting someone like you makes my blood boil."
"You're asking for it. If you want to fight, I'm all for it!"
Diamond Jozu charged forward in one step.
However, Whitebeard quickly reached out and blocked it.
" Jozu, don't be too impulsive. This guy is indeed as bloodthirsty and warlike as the rumors say. Otherwise, there wouldn't be any news that he even killed Admiral Akainu at Marine Headquarters."
"You little rascal, you're quite amusing. Ace is truly blessed to have a sworn brother like you."
"However, don't forget the mission the Five Elders gave you: to invite Ace to become Shichibukai."
"Now that Ace has rejected you, aren't you worried that the Five Elders won't let you off the hook?"
As the overlord of this era, Whitebeard was well aware of the Five Elders ' little tricks.
"Let me go?" Bai Yu took a swig of his drink and said with a playful smile.
"They just asked me to invite them; they didn't necessarily expect me to succeed."
"Besides, I took this mission to see if the Whitebeard Pirates had anyone worth cutting down and fighting."
"As for the Five Elders ' accusations, I really hope they continue to send people to target me. I didn't get enough of killing those three CP0s."
